Can you lose weight by lifting weights? Absolutely!
Strength training is an aspect of fitness that many runners ignore. I know that I personally hate lifting weights – I feel that if I’m exercising I want to be running. In fact, though, we need to do more than cardio for all-round health and fitness.
If you run to lose weight, you may have already found out that you will reach a plateau. Your body adapts to running and starts to store fat again after a while. Meanwhile, your muscles, except for those needed for running, are wasting away.
I just found out the reason: unless you continue to build muscle your metabolism will slow down. This means you burn less calories at rest, and since more time is spent resting than running, your total calorie burn is reduced! That leaves you with a choice: eat less or exercise more.
Eating less turns out to be an ineffective means to lose weight. If you have ever tried dieting, you will know that it can work for a while, but then sooner or later the weight starts creeping up again. It’s really difficult to maintain a diet, and we usually give up in the end.
So the bad news is that without strength training you cannot lose weight.
The good news is that it doesn’t need to be a chore!
If I could show you how to lose weight through strength training, using less time per week than you now spend on any run, and enjoying it, too, would you be interested?
I’m sure you would. Well, right now I’m testing a program that promises that (it takes me less than 30 minutes per week!) It will take me a few weeks to learn about it and to be sure that it will work for you, so please be patient. If it’s no good, you won’t hear any more from me, but so far, after a week, it’s looking good.
I intend to release the details of this program to my members within the next few weeks (like I said, I want to test it first!)
